ChangeLCMProperties -OutputPath "C:\DSC" 
Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "C:\DSC"
The preceding script is similar to general DSC configuration with the configuration named 
ChangeLCMProperties
but including the defined 
DSCLocalConfigurationManager
attribute. This 
attribute mandates that all resources within the configuration should be related to LCM only and 
should be present on configurations related to LCM. An error results if other general resources are 
used in the configuration. The script contains one node section for the DemoServerWin server. 
The Settings resource is the main resource for setting the LCM properties. In this example, we are 
specifying some of its properties and assigning values to them. For example, the refresh mode is set 
to 
Pull
so that the machine should restart (when required by a resource); the configuration mode has 
been changed to 
ApplyandAutoCorrect
, and 
ConfigurationID
has been provided with a valid GUID. 
The configuration as represented by the GUID would be pulled from the pull server. 
There are two pull servers in this configuration denoted by 
PullServer1
and 
PullServer2
. The 
ServerURL
property shows that they are on the same server with different port numbers. Also, 
AllowUnsecureConnection
makes it possible to use HTTP instead of HTTPS protocol. Compliance 
server information is also provided by using 
ReportServerWeb
. There are two partial configurations set 
to be downloaded by LCM and applied as a single configuration on its server. Partial Configuration
